Why Choose the GasMax RC400TE Natural Gas Twin Vat Fryer?

Selecting the GasMax RC400TE Commercial Gas Tube Fryer equips kitchen operators with an energy-efficient, fast-recovering deep frying station designed to maximize meal output and maintain consistent food crispness.

Key advantages of the GasMax RC400TE include:

• Superfast Thermal Recovery (110 MJ/h Tube Burners): Powerful 4-tube heating design transfers heat directly through the oil, achieving rapid thermal recovery when lowering frozen batches of chips, chicken, or seafood.

• Dual Independent Stainless Steel Vats: Two separate vats allow simultaneous frying of different menu items at distinct temperatures, preventing cross-contamination of flavors and oil.

• Generous 35-Litre Recommended Oil Capacity: High-volume oil capacity ensures temperature stability under heavy batch loading, extending oil life and delivering golden, crispy results.

• Precise Thermostatic Millivolt Control (120°C to 200°C): Reliable millivolt system operates without requiring an external electrical connection, allowing precise temperature management between 120°C and 200°C.

• Cold Zone Tube Design: Tube-style vats feature a deep cold zone below the heating tubes to catch food crumbs and sediment, preventing burning, bitter oil flavors, and premature oil degradation.

• Full Stainless Steel Construction: Premium stainless steel cabinet, vats, and front doors built for maximum corrosion resistance and effortless daily sanitisation.

• Dual AGA & IAPMO Gas Approvals: Certified under AGA Approval #7863 and IAPMO #GMK10174 to satisfy all Australian commercial gas safety compliance standards.

• Standing Pilot Light & Adjustable Legs: Features an energy-saving standby pilot for instant service start-up, paired with heavy-duty height-adjustable legs for level positioning.

• Up to 4-Year Commercial Warranty: Backed standard by a 2-Year Parts & Labour Warranty, extendable by an additional 2 Years Parts Only upon online product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Gas Installation & Commissioning Notice: Under Australian law, all commercial gas equipment must be installed and commissioned by a qualified, licensed gas plumber after installation. Proof of licensed gas commissioning is required to validate manufacturer warranty coverage.

Delivery & Freight Notice: Commercial heavy cooking equipment requires dedicated freight handling. Please contact our friendly sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Commissioning: Ensure a licensed gas fitter connects the 1/2" NG gas line, verifies supply pressure, and completes official commissioning. Fill both stainless steel vats with commercial frying oil up to the designated 35L fill line before igniting burners.

2. Ignition & Frying: Light the standby pilot light using the millivolt control system. Turn the thermostat dial to your target frying temperature (120°C–200°C). Once pre-heated, lower filled baskets into the oil. Utilize the twin vats to keep seafood and poultry products separated.

3. Daily Hygiene & Oil Maintenance: At the end of trading shifts, turn off gas supply and allow oil to cool. Use front drain valves to drain and filter cooking oil through heat-safe strainers. Wipe down stainless steel vats, cold zones, and exterior panels with warm, soapy water and a mild commercial degreaser.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the GasMax RC400TE require an electrical power outlet?

No. The GasMax RC400TE utilises a self-generating millivolt control system with a standing pilot light, meaning it operates entirely on gas power without requiring a 240V electrical connection.

2. Why are tube-style burners better for high-volume frying?

Tube fryers position large heating tubes directly inside the oil vat. This creates a vast surface area for heat transfer, resulting in faster thermal recovery times and a deep "cold zone" beneath the tubes where crumbs settle without burning.

3. What is the total oil capacity of the GasMax RC400TE twin vat fryer?

The unit has a recommended total oil capacity of 35 litres, divided across its two independent stainless steel frying vats.

4. Are the frying baskets included with the RC400TE?

Yes. The GasMax RC400TE comes supplied complete with two heavy-duty commercial wire frying baskets featuring heat-resistant handles.

5. What warranty covers the GasMax RC400TE gas fryer?

This commercial gas fryer comes standard with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, which extends by an additional 2 years for parts only when registered online within 14 days of invoice.
